The fans are aptly designed to promote boosted longevity and quietness through the Dual-Ball Bearings working in tandem with the newest AeroCurve Fan Blade Design that reduces air friction to increase usable fan RPM range whilst keeping noise levels at a minimum. Easily remove the fans to clean or replace with the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ signature Quick Connect Fan feature with only one screw holding the fans in place.
Elegant Construction Meets Personalization
The sleek metallic design etched with an iconic NITRO+ emblem accent on the All Metal Backplate adds an artistic extra layer of rigidity to the card while simultaneously increasing heat dissipation. Rest assured that the FrameDefense structural design of the graphics card provides a solid enclosure for all internal components, lowering damage risk during handling and installation whilst securing fragile components like the GPU, memory and VRMs. Complete the outer aesthetic by customizing the ARGB LED Light Bar with the lighting option that best reflects your style using SAPPHIRE’s TriXX Software. To maximize personalization of the PC and perfectly match the lighting between the graphics card and the motherboard, gamers can use the 3-pin header to externally synchronize RGB LEDs and choose whether the graphics card or the motherboard will control the RBG LED lighting.
Metal Backplate | ARGB LED Light Bar | L-Shape Support Bracket |
To ensure that the graphics card stays in place on the PCIe Slot and to prevent sagging, the included L-Shape Support Bracket upgraded with durable materials and a refreshed design including a rubber tip is the ultimate key to round out the final look of the build. Use the rubber tip of the bracket to help extract the graphics card securely and with ease when removing the graphics card for cleaning and maintenance.
PURE Icy-White For Any White-Themed PC
Suitably designed for gamers searching for a beautiful frosty-white GPU, the SAPPHIRE PURE AMD Radeon™ RX 9060 XT graphics card headlines with 32 Compute Units and 2048 stream processors with a Boost Clock of up to 3290 MHz and a Game Clock of up to 2700 MHz. 16GB of high-speed GDDR6 memory is clocked at 20 Gbps with 32MB of AMD Infinity Cache™ technology. 2x HDMI® 2.1 and 1x DisplayPort™ 2.1a ports with DSC outputs are built in to provide up to 3 output ports to support a majority of monitors.
